Anthony Hopkins and Glen Powell have officially signed on to star in the English remake of ‘Locked’, based on the Argentinian action thriller called ‘4X4’. The movie will be produced by Sam Raimi. It will be directed by David Yarovesky and written by Michael Arlen Ross.
“Locked centers around a thief who breaks into a luxury SUV, only to realize that he’s stumbled into a complex and deadly trap set by a mysterious figure,” reads the logline.
“Dave Yarovesky so elevated the material on Nightbooks, and he was our first choice for this,” Raimi said. “The script was so good and he’s such a good communicator that we were able to interest Anthony Hopkins, who for my generation is just about the greatest actor ever. Glen’s character has got a soul to him that’s slowly revealed as the picture goes on. It seems as though he’s just a thief, someone that doesn’t care for others, but as the film unfolds, you realize he has a wife and a child that he loves and he’s wronged, and this whole experience gives him a chance to reflect back on how he’s treated them, and how he’s lived his life relative to them.”
